College OF Mechanic Arts and Artisans
Training school.

College OF Mechanic Arts and Artisans
Training school.
We have just received from the Direc-
tor, a catalogue of the College of Me-
chanic Arts Of the University of Mime
sofa, at Minneapolis. From this pam
phlet we see that the new building and
equipment are complete and that the COL
lege is now better prepared than ever be-
fore, or than any other school in the
northwest, to give thorough technical con.
structlon.
There are complete four year courses
in civil, mechanical and electrical engin.
eering. based On the experience of the
best schools in the country. Beside these.
long courses the Artisans Training
School offers shorter ones for those in
tending to enter practical pursuits in
which a knowledge of the use of tools,
of mechanical drawing, and of the pr,n-
ciples and practice of steam engines and
boilers will be of use.
There are no charges for tuition; the
OuAy cApcuSc, apart AIOu UOdEU auu
books, is for material actually used in
the shops and for damage to tools and
furniture, thus making the University of
Minnesota one of the cheapest places in
the country for a young man to receive a
mechanical training.
The coming years work begins Sept.
6 examinations being held Aug. 80 and
21st, and it is desirable, wherever posi-
BILE, that applicants should present them
selves at that time.
Those desiring catalogues or any furth.
/ er information can obtain the same by
addressing the Director, Prof. VIM. A.
Pike, University Of Minnesota, Minneap-
| oils.

@ srfleld's First Teacher,

There is a lady nov living in Mlnnea-
polls who taught Gen. Garfield his A B
C's. AS the story runs, the mother of the
future president, who was then a bare.
footed urchin of four summers, had sent
him with his older brothers and sisters to
the district school, more to get him out
Of the way than anything else. The
school ma'am, however, being pleased
with the bright child, invited him to learn
to read. In the avidity with which he
absorbed the contents of his spelling
book little Jams Abram displayed the
same master spirit which characterized
him through life. The lady in question

PITY THE ERRING.
By LOUIE p. SMITH.

For the TRANSCRIPT.
Pity the srring, grown wrstched in ain,
Mourning, it may be, for what might have been;
Painting and dying, with no loving care,
learning, how wildly, for one earnest prayer.
Pity tho erring; they mai not be lost,
Like ships on the ocean, their lives may be tossed
Couds may envelope and breakers may roar,
Yet there's . beacon TO guide them TO shore.
Give them, oh freely, the hearts tender smile,
Speak to them kindly and scorn not the while,
Lingsr not sadly DER deeds of the past,
Tell them Of gloriss the future may cast.
Pity the erring; for once they were pure,
Tasted, it may be, Of joys that endure,
Tempted of temptors whom God give,h DER,
Bring and fallen, oh, pity them more.
Pity the erring; God pity us all,
For left to our natures the strongest may fall;
= Pity the erring; through love may be given,
The power of leading their feet toward heaven.
